BREAKING: U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May announces her resignation.

U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May on Friday announced her resignation, putting an end to months of speculation over her future because of her handling of Brexit.

Toward the end of her speech, May’s voice cracked and she appeared on the verge of tears, adding:"It's been the honor of my life to serve the country I love." May's authority has looked increasingly shaky in recent months. Her Brexit deal, which she spent the better part of three years negotiating and re-negotiating, has been rejected by lawmakers three times this year. She previously said she'd would resign if her Brexit deal was passed, but now she's bowing to pressure from lawmakers within her own party to resign before a deal is again put up for a vote.

This proved to be deeply unpopular with Brexit-supporting members of her own party, including MP Boris Johnson, who said on Tuesday that while he'd previously backed May's deal with"great reluctance," he couldn't support her new plan.

Shame for her and to UK,you guys are screwed by these stupid politics of today.. Worst prime minister ever(and David Cameron too)

Good. She let the terrorists take over. They need someone in there that will actually do their job!

Theresa Mayhem no thanks. You are wicked

Because the EU is a mob mentality and will harm or knock off anyone who truly tries to leave the club.

Thank you for good service! /Maybe not that effective, but still🌸/

Strength of a woman

A good day and beginning for the UK.

They must elect conservative that would get Britain out of the EU

And another mediocre politician leaves office

It is about time, I wish Jeff Sessions would of got the hint and left.

The only option is Nigel Farage

abc7leanne So the question is, what is our dipshit President Twit going to say about this? He usually piles on people to apply blame when he gets a chance, or if he can use consolation to blame some of this other perceived enemies, he might do that.

Pay attention The Storm is HERE

OUR Republic

Good riddance.

Look WHO's Covered Up in the SHIT NOW

She is such a lovely person. Not her fault. Hope the best for her & the Country. 👍🧐🙏

Something tells me this resignation isn’t only because of brexit ReleaseTheDocuments mifsud RussiaHoax

Way overdue! What could’ve been an “honorable” position for Theresa May ... turned into a position of a weak, cowardly, incompetent woman, who tried to sell out Britain 🇬🇧 ! What a waste & a shameful! miserable existence ... 👎🏿

'Bye bye Theresa'-Q

Good riddance.

theresa_may did warn everyone, you can’t make Brexit happen if you don’t believe in it. TheresaMay TheresaMayResign EU

Hopefully realDonaldTrump follows her lead

Finally 👏👏👏

Politics This is a prime example of government officials thinking they know better than the people. The people voted yet the liberal elite think they know best.

Is Brexit looking lame or already lame?

What took her so long?

FlyMayFly

And she was doing so well...

Sorry to see Theresa May resign, but she shows that she is quite a lady accepting the situation. Perhaps the US president will see what true class really is.

brexitparty_uk The people voted to get of the EU - the subversion of “REMAINERS,” is a subversion of democracy. Good. EU is a authoritarian ring of thieves. london jongaunt

Haha, she's going to be lucky if she doesn't get sent to Gitmo for her part in spying on realDonaldTrump as a candidate, and President!

Bye Felicia! 👋

We should be so lucky...

Make yourself available for the subpoena from the Trump administration. You may have some answering to do.

Bye bye
